What is special fraud

This is a crime in which a criminal calls or sends a postcard (envelope) claiming to be a relative or a public institution employee to deceive the victim, and then tricks the victim into handing over cash or a cash card, or gets the victim to operate an ATM and transfer money to the criminal's account by telling them that they will receive a medical expense refund (this includes blackmail, in which the criminal extorts the victim from the account, and fraud, in which the criminal takes advantage of an opportunity to switch and steal a cash card, etc.).

(Explanatory notes) Damage amounts are rounded down to less than 10,000 yen.
(Explanatory Note) Cases where the amount of damage is 0 yen are included in the number of cases.
